I have a lovely bunch of girlfriends and we always meet up for lunch whenever it is someone's birthday. They always get a handmade card and this card was inspired by Penny Thomas. I have seen quite a few sampler cards around and they are just gorgeous. I am looking forward to making a few more of these.

I have been playing around with Vellum lately and found that it is really versatile. The flower is made with a mixture of Crepe Filter Paper and vellum. The envelope for the 3 x 3 inch card was also made with vellum. I didn't use any adhesive on the envelope, I just held it closed with some bakers twine and the card front showed through so I didn't even decorate the envelope. The card fits inside the box perfectly.

Of course you all know the chalkboard technique. I just had to try it out and loved it so much that the next time I looked I had made about 8 cards using this technique. The frame around the card is drawn freehand.

Do you ever make a card but just feel that there is something not right about it? Well that is how I felt about the "the best things in life" card. I even tried different colours but it was just not coming together.

I decided to change the above card and this is what I came up. I was much happier with the second card.

I love the simplicity of these cards. I used the blender pen to add a little definition to the stamped image. I also distressed around all the edges with the new Stampin' Distress Tool which is available from the seasonal catalog.

I cased this from Stampin Up, but used my own measurements. I used the Natural Composition Speciality paper which is already embossed. I coloured the pattern with the Stampin Write Markers and wiped away the excess ink with a tissue. I filled a cellophane bag with treats and threaded the ribbon through all the layers.

My third granddaughter had her naming ceromony a few weeks ago and as I was not able to go, I sent a card. You can't really see from the photo but there is lots of dazzling diamonds on the butterflies. My daughter loves bling so how could I send a card without bling. I also added some Rhinestones to the middle butterfly.
